Creating a Netlist

This is a general tutorial on how to generate an hspice netlist using Cadence tools.
Note: This segment or the design flow stoped working when Cadence was relocated. It currently brings us a blank netlist. Until it is fixed, I reccommend exporting your design into magic (using cif) and using the magic design flow for hspice and irsim simultion.

At the command prompt open up Cadence using: "icms&" or "icfb&"
(icms is the mixed signal development environment for Cadence and icfb is
the front to back development environment. Either will work, we just need
a tool that allows us to process analog circuits)

Once the tool has loaded, open your library manager (Tools -> Library Manager)

Move to the Library and cell which you would like to perform hspice and open
the "extracted" view of the cell.

From the menus on the extracted cell, choose Tools -> Analog Environment
